They did a very good cover of Stevie Nick's "Landslide". And they really have a song called "Wide Open Spaces" which you would love.
Wide Open Spaces is beautiful
Their cover of Landslide is my favorite.
@@elegantgypsyrose5328 yes so true
Their cover of Landslide brings me to tears. It’s beautiful. 💜
A violin has strings. A fiddle has strangs
lol - I'm using this.
Lol😂
When you're right...
Your correct 😂✌️♥️
Oldie but goodie.
Facts! Tell ‘em 😂
When You Were Mine and Not Ready To Make Nice are great songs by The Chicks. Actually love all of their songs but those 2 are my favorites.
Both great
One of my all time favorite Chicks song is “Wide Open Spaces.” It would be great to see y’all react to that one. It’s an anthem for all parents and their daughters. Love your content guys ❤❤❤❤
Yall HAVE to listen to their song "Sin Wagon"!!! Rock/country at its best! Their vocals and musicianship shine in that one!! A wild ride!!
Sin Wagon does not get the love it deserves since it was never released as a single but it does kick ass!
I have requested Sin Wagon several times now. It's one of my favorites from them.
haha how did i forget sin wagon! such a great song!
yesss! excellent choice!
Agreed
Love the Chicks. Next for them I would recommend "Travelling Soldier." Also would recommend doing some more Little Big Town "Little White Church, Lean Into It, Pontoon."
Love Little Big Town!!!
Love Big Little Town too
"Traveling Soldier" reduced me to tears. My Dad served in Vietnam.
The Chicks 'Traveling Soldier' is probably my favorite song of theirs. Great storytelling in it...
My favorite too Skip. It's beautiful!
Omg yes!
I love their “Traveling Soldier” and Home Free’s cover is really good too.
I have the Home album, and it clearly says it's by the Dixie Chicks. They can go as woke as they want, but their attempt at revisionism is pitiful. I guess they figured, hey, we don't have a career anymore anyway, so what the hell?
Yes!
One where they really go to town on their instruments is “Long Time Gone”. It is soooooo good! ❤
Love that one!
@@RandomFandomDragon same! And it’s got a special memory for me. When my daughter was little, I had taken her to work with me one day. I let her listen to my headphones to keep her entertained because she loved music and she was listening to this album. When this song came on, she busted out singing it at the top of her little lungs and cracked everyone in the office up! It was so cute and every time I hear this song, I remember that! She’s 26 now!
GREAT song!
You should really do some more Allison Kraus. "Restless", "The Lucky One", "Goodbye is all We Have" are all great. Thanks.
Agreed. Also "Paper Airplane", "It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference", and "There Is a Reason"
And "When You Say Nothing At All"
And “Forget About It”, my fav.
I think y'all would like The Corrs. They are from Ireland & the band is made up of 3 sisters & their brother. They harmonize beautifully. I'd recommend "Runaway" (my top choice), "Breathless", "Dreams", "Angel", "Only When I Sleep" , "Radio", "So Young" & "What Can I Do".
The Corrs are so impressive (beautiful voices and I remember they were also gorgeous to look at.
I love them too! "Runaway" is my personal favorite.
LOVE the Corrs. I think on one of their albums they have a collab w Tim McGraw?
I effing love them. One of my all time favorite bands. Top 5.
That Dreams remix is one of my go tos for Karaoke
Another vote for The Corrs
"Ready To Run" has a kinda fun video. Lead singer Natalie Maine's voice is outstanding!
Another great female artist is Rhiannon Giddens. She has a video from Austin City Limits singing" Tales of Spanish Mary", which was an unfinished Bob Dylan song that she completed.
She plays banjo as well as other instruments and sings with her band. Thanks guys!
“You Were Mine” was the first country song I fell in love with! And the entire “Taking The Long Way” album is amazing!!
Me too!!! I grew up listening to grunge and Natalie Maines wooed me into country with that song. Oh the 90s....
@@evergreenforestwitch It was mostly Hip Hop & R&B for me before then.
@@marcusg8424 Natalie Maines uniting the masses.
I'm guessing you'll agree with this sentiment but good music simply transcends genre. It's so interesting because what's good i so subjective, but there are some artists most of us just agree on.
For sure!! I love a good sad slow song (by someone who can actually sing). That’s a sure recipe for success for me!
@@marcusg8424 if you have never heard it, highly recommend One For My Baby (and One More For The Road) by Frank Sinatra. Few convey heartbreak better than old blue eyes.
They're a very talented yet, outspoken and controversial band. That being said, my suggestions for them would be; "Not ready to make nice" and "wide open spaces". 🤠
Wide Open Spaces was such a big hit back in the day
They're only controversial to people who think the Confederate flag is a symbol of pride instead of a symbol of racism and white supremacy that the Chicks and all sane people know it to be. That's why they changed their name from the Dixie Chicks to the Chicks because they didn't want to be associated with racist symbolism
Outspoken and controversial because their yaps move faster than their brains. They are typical nasalcountry whose fanbase are also low on the IQ spectrum trailer park dwellers that vote Republican. So what do these idiots do? Go around bashing Bush, which also meant bashing about 90% of their audience. Not thought through at all.
They were only controversial with the party that likes to throw around the words "cancel culture" despite the fact that they invented it, just as they tried to cancel the Dixie Chicks.
I would add "Sin Wagon" too. such a fun song
Not a big Country fan, but I've liked several songs by The Chicks (formerly The Dixie Chicks). This song you're reacting to is great, DEFINITELY check out "Wide Open Spaces" (my personal favorite), their cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide", "You Were Mine", "Not Ready to Make Nice", and "There's Your Trouble".
I would add "Traveling Soldier" and my favorite super bowl nation anthem version by them, I think it was SB 37.
Also look up the history of "Not Ready to Make Nice" before you listen, it makes the lyrics much more powerful. I bought the CD just to support them, I think it was the only CD I bought that year, and really enjoyed it.
I cam here to say exactly this!! Great recommendations, I hope they choose Wide Opn Spaces and Landslide. So good. ❤
Well the last 2 albums were not really country anymore so ... :)
The Chicks are the real deal! Such a talented group of musicians. Interesting, you mentioned Wide Open Spaces a couple of times. They actually have a song by that name. It would be a great one for you to react to! Similar theme/vibe as this song. The switch from The Dixie Chicks to The Chicks is attributed to the group wanting to distance themselves from a word (Dixie) that had been deeply connected with the Confederate-era South. There was never an official announcement from the group, but the rebranding came 2 weeks after another country group, Lady Antebellum, changed its name to Lady A. The Lady A change was accompanied by a social media statement in which Lady A said the country's recent attempts to reckon with racial justice issues (Black Lives Matter) had made the band members' eyes open wide to inequality. Antebellum was a word also associated with the Confederated- era South.
The Chicks released a poignant song in 2006 called "Silent House" (Co-written by Neil Finn, lead singer of Crowded House) about Alzheimer's Disease and how Natalie Maines felt about losing her beloved Grandmother. It's sad and beautiful. Check it out.
One of my favorites!!
Love this song!! Ready To Run, Wide Open Spaces, Travelin Solider, Landslide, Not Ready To Make Nice, and Sin Wagon you need to react to!
Y’all, so many gems from The Chicks. Their 90s and early 2000s stuff is excellent, but their more recent stuff is my favorite. The entire Gaslighter album is worth a reaction, particularly “March, March”, “Gaslighter”, and “Tights on my Boat”. Their mid 2000s “Not Ready to Make Nice” is perfection. You can’t go wrong with The Chicks!
Love, March March and Not Ready to Make Nice.
love the whole album
Interesting that Amber said Natalie wants “Wide Open Spaces,” considering that was the title of their mainstream debut song and album title.
Wide open Spaces is a good one. I love their songs...they will always be The Dixie Chicks 🥰🥰🥰
The Chicks and Shania Twain were my introduction to my love of Country music back in the 90s. The Chicks have been controversial, speaking up about injustices in our country. Which makes me love them even more. The spoke up at a concert and got a lot of crap for it. They’ve written songs about it as well. Gaslighter and I’m Not Ready To Make Nice, how people were horrible to them afterward. They stood up for those who couldn’t, and I love them even more for it! The Chicks are badass and have amazing songs. Please do more of them!
"Not ready to make nice" is amazing ! They were incredibly brave at that time.
Sin Wagon is a really fun fast song of theirs. And, for a completely different vibe, Cold Day in July is, imo, one of the best break-up songs ever.
Sun Wagon is amazing.
Give It Up or Let Me Go also great.
Honestly, their first two albums don’t really have a bad song.
Their version of "Cold Day in July" is a cover. It was released in 1992 by both Suzy Bogguss and Joy Lynn White. I'm much more partial to Joy Lynn White's version. The anguish in her voice is incredible.
my daughter was 6 in 2000 when she wanted to see them so we found they were playing in Buffalo the day after her b-day so made the trip
and it was a great experience for her and me! watching her stand on her seat and sing her heart out to every song was one of the coolest things
i ever had the pleasure of witnessing. twice since we have gone to see them and they truly are fantastic musicians.
You cannot go wrong with these ladies! It is so worth going down the rabbit hole with this group. You'll not find one bad song. Try "Traveling Soldier", "Without You", "Wide Open Spaces", "Long Time Gone", "Let 'er Rip", "Ready To Run", "I Believe In Love", and "Top of the World".
I still call them “The Dixie Chicks”. They was probably the first music group/artist that was cancelled because of their opinion on the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq after 9/11. It’s a shame because they was my favorite group. They dropped Dixie from their name because they was trying to make a comeback and didn’t want to get cancelled again. Like I said….. it’s a shame because of cancel culture that we lost great music. No telling how big they would be and how many more great songs they would have had. I will always be a fan of The Dixie Chicks.
That’s exactly what happened
They took a risk and faced the consequences. As a young Marine at the time, that was into country music, I really liked their "Wide Open Spaces Album." But they knew their target audience and alienated a lot of us. Hard to listen to someone that doesn't support what you are doing. It was their choice, and their right to do it. They seem fine with it, and I still think they were great musicians, and hearing these songs is still nice.
it wasn't their opinion on the wars it was the insulting American in another country. then thinking that Americans would be ok with that.
@deg1224ify where I lived Americans were also insulting that same American and completely agreed with The Dixie Chicks
They didn’t deserve the cancel culture they received. They disliked Bush and his agenda, but not the men and women that were fighting his war. Overnight, country stations stopped playing their music and it hurt their path to superstardom. I’m still sad when I hear their music. I liked the Dixie in their name. I didn’t see it as confederate related. It refers to the southern states. They are Texas gals.
Love how ya’ll just bobbed your heads and jammed to that amazing instrumental ending! (Without pausing) ❤
This band is one of my favourites of all time- and they are so underrated when it comes to reactions! they deserve to be reacted to more. I have suggested a few times now that you react to their newest single, March March- PLEASE consider this one. It is SO moving (watch the video with it). From their previous albums, I could recommend so many: Heartbreak Town, There's Your Trouble (a fun one), Not Ready to Make Nice (their response to being cancelled- before being cancelled was even a thing), Landslide (a cover, but still reaction-worthy!) Please do more!
Written by Martie McGuire who is the one on fiddle...Great song...They have an amazing catalogue of songs
Some other amazing songs: "Travelin' Soldier" "Wide Open Spaces" "Not Ready To Make Nice." All are amazing.
NOT READY TO MAKE NICE!! They are awesome! Thanks for playing the country.
I don't think I'd ever heard a country band with more musicianship than the Chicks.
"Not Ready To Make Nice" and their cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" are awesome.
Martie and Emily were part of the original members of the band (Laura Lynch and Robin Lynn Macy were also in the band) formed in the late '80s in Dallas. I saw them at a festival in Dallas in 1992 and they were out of this world amazing. I knew then they were going to make it big. They released a few albums on a local label, "Thank Heavens for Dale Evans", "Little Ole Cowgirl" and "Shouldn't a Told You That". (Their minor hit played on local Dallas radio was "She'll Find Better Things To Do", look it up on You Tube). Macy and Lynch left the band and was replaced by Natalie Maines. Their first major hit was "There's Your Trouble" from the album "Wide Open Spaces". They were no strangers to controversy. At a concert in London, in response to anti-Iraq war protests outside the hall, Natalie declared that she was ashamed that the President, (George W. Bush at the time) was from Texas. That was a big no-no to country music radio and fans. They were banned from airplay and their records were burned. Their other hits "You Were Mine", "Wide Open Spaces", "Sin Wagon", "Goodbye Earl", "Travelin' Soldier", among others.
I have always been a Dixie Chicks fan, I enjoy good music and movies, and don't care where the stand politically. What seems strange to me that they were blacklisted for what they said about then President Bush, what they said then seems mild compared to what is being said about current and past Presidents now.
I agreed with them about Bush. Many thousands of lives lost and a country polluted forever by depleted uranium based entirely on lies.
@@elegantgypsyrose5328 I also agree with you about Bush, and don't think they went far enough at the time, in what they said.
We are so fortunate to have Robin Macy here in Kansas. She bought the Bartlett Arboretum in Belle Plaine Kansas and has brought nature ,community and music together in breathtaking setting!!
People had destroy the Dixie Chicks songs parties after their negativity toward US…. They put the tractors to running over CDs.
Thank you x3 This is My song ! I used to dance to it in my living room with my nieces ! Yee Haw 🤠❤️❤️❤️🤟🏼✌🏼🐇
I think my favorites of theirs are "The Long Way Around," "Long Time Gone," "Goodbye Earl," "Wide Open Spaces," "Gaslighter," "White Trash Wedding"...so many great tracks. If you ever get the chance to see them live, DO IT.
Thank you for the reaction! You will love "Wide Open Spaces" - a beautiful song by these talented ladies! More songs by The Chicks please!
Here's another one from the 90's, Strawberry Wine by Deana Carter. Thanks.
“Not Ready To Make Nice” is AMAZING!!!
Got the see them live once. They we're AMAZING! I'm not a country music person, but these ladies are great!
Such a beautiful song
You've just scratched the surface! Please more Chicks! Please pretty please! Seen them 2x in concert and they are flawless!!!!!!!!!
“You were mine”and “I’m not ready to make nice” are must listens!!! Might want to look up a bit of into before listening to not ready to make nice before listening to that one!
They are so fng good. So crazy that one statement had them cancelled. Glad to know they have come back. In America a person should be able to say what they think without getting ruined. Incredible talents.
You would love Travelin Soldier
These woman live are unreal.
My kids got me this cd for my birthday the year it came out. I still have it and still love it.
Traveling Soldier is one of my favorites from these 3 talented ladies, a Must listen!!!!!
Their musicality is amazing. They don't have a bad song.
I love Natalie Maines' voice!
Wide open spaces and pretty much every song on that album. Let it rip is also a favorite
Goodbye Earl is so much fun!😂
Chicks have always been awesome. Glad they came thru the political turmoils… we need more Chicks 😃
Dixie Chicks. They literally took “Dixie” out of their. Are because of politics.
these ladies have a mountain of songs that are awesome. probably my favorite country girl band of all time. they changed their name from dixie chicks to the chicks after the george floyd incident and the protests that came after.
Funny you mention "wide open spaces" b/c they happen to have a song called Wide Open Spaces that you should LOVE! Also, "There's Your Trouble" is a cool song! Oh and "Travelin' Soldier" is awesome too...very touching! I hope you feature them soon and enjoy.
I’ve been a Dixie Chicks fan since the 1990’s when I was in college so that’s how I found your video. I kept watching because you guys are so cool!!! Great video! Entertaining, no bad language, love it!
You should add their ‘Not Ready to Make Nice’ to the list...it’s excellent!
Their version of Landslide is beautiful
Sin wagon is an awesome upbeat song. A great tear jerker is heartbreak town.
Love the Chicks!...They went through some rough times ..and were threatened because if some of their controversial views...Always a strong fan base here in Canada...Awesome ladies!
They has sooooo many good songs!! Please do more!!!
I love these girls! Always have! Travelin Soldier is also a good one!
"Long Way Around" is one of my favorite Chicks songs. That entire album "Taking the Long Way Around" is so good! It has my favorite cover of "Landslide" on it. Also, "Lullaby" is beautiful. I first heard it on the TV show Medium with Roseanna Arquette. Now I have to go listen to that entire album. I'm not a huge Country and Western fan, but there are a few I like. I love a good Irish sounding Fiddle. I hope you react to more of the Chicks music. Yes, their lyrics are wonderful.
The banjo and fiddle players are sisters. (That’s part of why they have that sublime harmony vocal blend.)
Loved The Dixie Chicks!!! Will never call them the chicks. 🎶 phenomenal group! Perfect harmony! So talented!
Way to never change and be stuck in your ways! Pat yourself on the back
@@tomrwills I will pat it for him if he can’t reach. I wish that group no success. Maybe New York will take the “New” out of “York” next because it’s somehow racist. So stupid.
I think it's appropriate to call them The Chicks. They're a different band now, their music will never be the same. They abandoned the music that their fans loved for new jaded pop version of themselves. Purposely having done this they don't want to be associated with country music any longer. I think most of their fans reciprocate the feeling as Gaslighter their newest album under The Chicks name is by far the least selling of all their albums. This was a Dixie Chicks song but they are not that band anymore so they should be called by their new name The Chicks.
They dropped Dixie in support of Black Lives Matter after the murder of George Floyd. The right thing to do is call them what they ask you to call them.
I agree I won't either
they dropped the 'dixie' and the association that word has with the South during slavery, in solidarity with the BLM movement. Their song March, March was released around the same time. The video for that one makes me cry. It's a great song. Another fun one by them is Sin Wagon, but really, the whole Wide Open Spaces album is gold, as others have said
Great album!
Funny that they suck now, after getting rid of Dixie.
"Wide Open Spaces" is another great one. ❤
A few other really good ones of theirs are When You Were Mine, Cold Day In July, and There's Your Trouble. So good. Great reaction!! 🙂
"Wide Open Spaces" by the DIXIE Chicks
Ready to run is another good song from The Chicks.
My favorite Chick's song. Reminds me of my Hubby when we met. Also Landslide
Cold Day In July is amazing too! Sad but Natalie kills it!
*The Chicks - "Loving Arms", "You were Mine", "There's Your Trouble".. so many great ones.*
Finally. I couldn't believe everyone was overlooking "You Were Mine"
All awesome
Would really love to see you guys dip into the Pentatonix pool. They are an Amazing acapella group who are being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!!! They have a lot of songs to choose from. Some of my favs are 90's Melody, Amazing Grace, Hallelujah...just to name a few.
I agree!!! Please check them out.
They have already reacted to Hallelujah and Sound of Silence.
no. terrible idea. let’s stick to actual bands / artists, not glorified choir.
@@poolhall9632 They are artists. Their tight harmonies and clever arrangements make them the GOAT of a capella. Millions of pentaholics would not agree with you that they are a glorified choir. They have over 600 thousand views of their Hallelujah video. Obviously they see something in them that you don't appreciate.
@@paulamelnyk986 any trained vocal group could do what they do.
Their initial appeal is the novelty of a cappella in pop music and their early covers of #1 pop songs.
Without others peoples music to rearrange and sing, they would not exist.
Love this song, love the chicks. They have a lot of really good songs. Wide Open Spaces, Landslide, Not ready to Make Nice, and the list goes on and on...
This was a #1 hit for a reason. It is the perfect combination of lyrics, instruments, arrangement, and presentation. Ya gotta respect The Chicks... highly talented and not afraid to say what they think, which can be dangerous for women in country music. Although from Texas, they dropped "Dixie" from their name because the deep south has become MAGA south. Even before that, they publically spoke their mind against Little Bush and his Iraqi War, causing a firestorm among a ton of their fans!
Travelin Soldier by the Chicks is a must. The live version.
I love this band. So many great songs.
When they were on tour after this album, I was able to see them live. One of the best concerts I’ve been to!!
Have not been lucky enough to see them live but I fell in love with them after I saw a "live" concert on TV
I’m going to see The Chicks in Texas in October. I can’t wait. I’m taking my daughter who I took to see them when she was five and they were a favorite of hers. I love all their songs but their cover of Landslide is my absolute favorite. Wide Open Spaces is great too.
This is a great song ! Another female band I recommend to check out are The Corrs. They have a Celtic sound using violin in most of their music.
Amen, they aregreat
I hadn't realized they changed their name, so I googled why: "The Chicks officially changed their name in June [2020] in wake of the anti-racism and anti-police brutality protests triggered by the killing of George Floyd." I was ill with covid from May-July in 2020 when they changed their name, so I really missed the news! Lol. I've been referring to them by their old name this whole time. Oops! Learn something new every day! :)
They're virtue signaling woke jerks for claiming having Dixie in their name is racist. Yes their Dixie Chicks music is good but they're right up there with Jane Fonda on my sh*t list for their ridiculous over reaction to the death of George "the felon Floyd.
Loved this reaction so much I watched it here after already watching twice via your Patreon the other day! They have so many good ones: "Wide Open Spaces", "Not Ready To Make Nice", "Travelin' Soldier", "There's Your Trouble". *SheDaisy* is another incredibly harmonious country female band I think you'd love! "Little Good-byes", "I Will...But", "Don't Worry 'bout A Thing" & "Get Over Yourself" are a few of my favs!
I highly recommend „Not ready to make nice“ and „March March“ the unapologetic Chicks are top tier to me.
My all time favorite of theirs. Second is "Goodbye Earl", third is "Not Ready to Make Nice"... that's subject to change depending on what mood I'm in at the time... lol... can't forget "Wide Open Spaces" though... when Natalie's voice does that jump on the line "She said, "It didn't seem like that long ago"... wow. "You Were Mine" will break your heart every time too. Had to edit twice.... if you want some kick butt country girl groups, I HIGHLY recommend going in the 80s for Wild Rose or the Forester Sisters... great harmonies from both groups. For Wild Rose I'd suggest "Breaking New Ground"... for the Forester Sisters, "I Fell in Love Again Last Night"... Last edit I promise... Wild Rose's "Breaking New Ground" is sometimes hard to find on here so here ya go: ruclips.net/video/Iv6dybhL__I/видео.html
Great list!!
They call themselves The Chicks now because somehow the term Dixie is racist. Yeah, right. I love their music. The harmonies are amazing. I saw them in concert a few years ago when they got back together. It was a great show.
They had to change the name do to the lead singer decided to put down a sitting president over seas. Back when this Country actually had pride. They were HUGE in Country music until Natalie overstepped in another Country.. Although most people probably don't remember that... It doesn't take much to research it though. Just takes time..
And yet Chicks isn't sexist? They should have left their name The Dixie Chicks.
@@TheBlindTrucker No, they were still the Dixie Chicks after that incident. They only changed the name a couple of years ago around the same time Lady Antebellum changed to Lady A, etc.
@@censorshipsucks9493 They just didn't have any fans after the incident. Not Country music fans at least. And Country music radio refused to play them. They had to reinvent themselves as POP artists.
@@TheBlindTrucker You're preaching to the choir. They called out George Bush for bringing us into Iraq. We never had any business there the second time around. Afghanistan was hiding Bin Laden. Bush figured Iraq was an easy target yada yada. But one thing I did not like about the concert I saw a few years ago was all this anti-Trump stuff on their background screen for some songs. It doesn't mean I'm not going to listen to them, but it annoyed the hell out of me. It must have been the 2013 Long Time Gone tour. What a performance though.
Not Ready to Make Nice is an iconic Chick's song. ❤️❤️
Wife here..Amber.., you explained the feeling of being in the country PERFECTLY!!
White Trash Wedding is the BEST. There's a live version of them sitting on a stage with some guest performers doing it and it is FIRE.
(You'll get your mandolin, some lightning FAST fiddling and even a little groovy bassline in this one.)
The Chick's have a ton of great songs. Ready to Run, Truth Number 2, Sin Wagon, etc. The lead singer Natalie (short blond hair) has a phenomenal voice. 👍👍👍
aaaahhhhh!! 1 of my very fave acts!! the fly album is awesome! also their home and wide open spaces album. they're still the only female band/group to have 2 back to back diamond albums. with wide open spaces & fly.
Martie (fiddle player) co-wrote this song for her sister Emily (banjo player) as a wedding gift to her and her than husband, country singer Charlie Robison, who is a real cowboy living on his range.... Natalie (lead singer) later said, that girls were trying to perform this song on Emily´s wedding but had too much of alcohol so they performed little bit of "dirty version" with a lot of lyric twists :) It was releasedon their second album FLY in 1999 (won ACM, CMA, Grammy, British Country Music Awards, Canadian Country music Awards - for Album/country album of the year) and Cowboy Take Me Away is one of the fans most favorite song by Chicks.
Came here to say this. What an incredible wedding gift!
This song along with, Landslide, and Wide Open Spaces are my favorites.
They changed their name to Chicks because "DIXIE" represented the south and the confederacy so they wanted to distance themselves from that.
The Dixie Chicks will be known as The Chicks moving forward. The country girl trio dropped the word "Dixie" from their name amid the nationwide protests about systemic racism and debates regarding the removal of Confederate monuments. They revealed the new name while promoting their new song "March March" on social media.
They have a bit of sibling harmony helping them out, two of the Chicks are sisters.
Such great harmonies.
Lead singer, Natalie Maines, made some controversial remarks (some remarks were considered unpatriotic) during a concert and the group suffered serious backlash from fans and country music radio. Many radio stations banned the playing of any of their music. I was surprised last week when a Dallas country radio station played one of their songs last week so I guess the ban is slowly being lifted!
From Wikipedia: "In March 2003, the American country band the Dixie Chicks, now known as the Chicks, publicly criticized President George W. Bush and the imminent Allied invasion of Iraq, triggering a backlash. The lead singer, Natalie Maines, made the statement at a concert in London during their Top of the World Tour; she said the band were ashamed to be from the same state as Bush and that they did not support the war. The Dixie Chicks were one of the most popular American country acts at the time.
After the statement was reported by the British newspaper The Guardian, it led to backlash from American country listeners, who were mostly right-wing and supported the war. The Dixie Chicks were blacklisted by many country radio stations, received death threats, and were criticized by other country musicians. The backlash damaged sales of the Dixie Chicks' music and concert tickets and lost them corporate sponsorship."
The vast majority of the Left was also supported the war. Don't cherry pick the info for the narrative you want to push.
@@tonyallen4265 I did not "cherry pick" anything. As you can clearly see the last part of the comment was copied and pasted straight from Wikipedia. If you have a problem with it saying "right wing" go make your own edits there. I have no "agenda" and I am not trying to push any narrative. I was merely trying to show how the Chicks said something and the consequences of their actions at that time.
Changing their name was the dumbest thing they could have possibly done. Criticizing the war in Iraq and George Bush was a brave move. Changing their name was a cowardly move.
Their name switched when Black Lives Matter! The tragic and senseless killings of our beautiful Black Americans!! Dang it, enough is enough!! If you kill because a humans skin color isn't the same as yours, be it be a cop, or anyone, you are a murderer!! Today you will be accountable!! When that young boy Trayvon was killed, by that murderer and he walked, I blew a gasket!! I pray for each and every family touched by these monstrous acts. The Chicks proudly changed their stage name, because they too STAND FOR WHATS RIGHT & MORE IMPORTANTLY --(JUSTICE ⚖️) Thanks for your awesome reacts!! PEACE-LOVE- & HARMONY PEOPLE!!! ✌️❤️ ✨✨✨✨
When it's country music it's a fiddle...LOL Fiddlleing is true Country an Western from way back. My Dad played Fiddle and banjo, my Mom played piano and 1 of my brothers played drums in a band in the 60's for true square dances, not the ones with the fancy dresses, the ones that was in the country on Saturday night at the dance halls. 20 miles from the nearest town. My 1st dance I learned was square dancing standing on my daddy's feet to learn the steps. That is true hillbilly country. Yes I am from the foothills of the mountains of SE Ohio and West Virginia and damned proud of it. I feel lucky to have been raised like that.
